Community includes useful board and attachment features

What to keep in mind

How to use it well

Planka Community fits a card-centered process where descriptions, files and discussion belong together. Define the board structure first and compare the Community feature table before designing workflows around advanced views or recurring cards.

Model a process with a few lists, then keep discussion and supporting files on the corresponding card. Use due dates only for meaningful commitments. Review the Community feature table before deployment because several alternate views and access controls belong to Pro.
